Hi, As you mentioned, we are finding out committers to contribute Hama. To the best of my knowledge, however, a committer is recommended among passionate contributors by a PMC (project management committee); I'm only a committer. In addition, the recommended process has to go through a vote of PMCs.
Firstly, however, your colleagues and you can freely participate in the Hama project by contributing codes. For this, you need to find issues that you contribute. You can check issues from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA. Actually, there are a few issues yet. It is because that Hama is still under heavy development. But, probably next week I'll submit a job management system and create some issues related to BSP. If you are interested in any issue, you could be assigned with the issue. You may be hard to keep up with Hama's progress because documentation of Hama is insufficient. If so, ask your questions to hama-dev mailling or IRC. Other members and I are willing to answer them. Anyway, I'm thank you for interesting the Hama project.
